Same Sky, Different World

I lied on my side with my back facing Hayoung. It was so awkward after she kissed me and now we had to sleep in the same room

I tried to fall asleep as soon as possible but the thoughts of me and Hayoung just could not leave me peacefully. It made me frustrated

Hayoung-Uhm

I heard her groaning behind me. I flipped to the other side and peeked my head at the princess

Hayoung-No

She whispered and her forehead narrowed

Sehun-Hayoung, what is wrong?

I tapped her shoulder gently. Her eyes shot open and suddenly she attacked me with her sharp claw

Sehun-Aw!

I yelped as my body jerked up from the mattress. Hayoung gasped in shock and she also sprang out of her place. She looked at my arm which was bleeding

Hayoung-Oh no, what have I done? I'm sorry Sehun. I'm terribly sorry
Sehun-It's okay

Hayoung began to cry

Hayoung-Are you hurt? I.. What should I do?
Sehun-It's okay. Just get me ointment and bandage
Hayoung-Okay. Okay, wait here

She walked up to her drawer and took out the small kit. She sat in front of me, slowly lifting my sleeve up. It was a long cut though

Hayoung-Aish, I'm so dumb

She carefully dabbed the cotton wool soaked with antiseptic along my scratch. It stung a bit but I could endure it

Sehun-It's okay Hayoung. It doesn't hurt that much
Hayoung-But you are bleeding. What if you died because you loss so much of blood?

I chuckled. Hayoung wrapped my forearm with a bandage. She sighed

Sehun-Are you scared that I might die because of this?
Hayoung-Yes. I mean, you are mortal. If you die, you can never get out of here

I swallowed the lump in my throat

Sehun-Do you know how can I get out of here?
Hayoung-You want to leave?

Hayoung bored into my eyes. I could see she was hoping I would say otherwise

Hayoung-That's a stupid question. Of course you want to get out of here. This is not where you belong
Sehun-So how?
Hayoung-I will figure it out. Don't worry

I nodded. I had to put my trust in her

Hayoung kept back the kit and walked out to the verandah. I followed her. We looked up to the navy blue sky

I glanced at Hayoung beside me, admiring her side profile. She had light brown, short hair. Hooked nose, pointed chin and beautiful eyes

Why did I only noticed it now?

Hayoung-How does it feel to be existed?

Hayoung asked out of sudden. Her question made me frowned

Sehun-What do you mean?
Hayoung-You are breathing. You grow up, and you do different things everyday. How does it feel?
Sehun-I.. Don't know. I never thought it was special just to be able to breathe. You are not... Breathing?

She shook her head

Hayoung-I am only a fictional character whose existence being written on a piece of paper with cheap ink
Sehun-But you feel real though

I ran my fingers through her silky hair. I caressed her cheek too. How could she be fictional? She was too good to be true

She closed her eyes, feeling my warmth. I leant down to her face and once again under the moonlight, we kissed
